Beef Hamburgers are juicy and flavorful patties made with seasoned ground beef and served in soft buns with your favorite toppings. This classic homemade burger recipe is simple, satisfying, and perfect for family dinners or cookouts.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Onion slices
  • Pickles
  • Cheese slices
  • Ketchup (optional condiment)
  • Mustard (optional condiment)
  • Mayonnaise (optional condiment)
  • Barbecue sauce (optional condiment)

Instructions

  1. Place the ground beef in a large bowl.
  2. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup.
  3. Mix gently until just combined without overworking the meat.
  4. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns.
  5. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
  6. Heat a skillet, grill, or griddle over medium-high heat.
  7. Cook the patties for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.
  8. If using cheese, place slices on the patties during the final minute of cooking and cover briefly to melt.
  9. Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired.
  10. Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments.
  11. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy burgers with rich flavor.
  • Add chopped jalapeños for a spicy variation.
  • Mix shredded cheese into the beef mixture for extra richness.
  • Top with sautéed mushrooms and onions for additional flavor.
  • Brioche buns create a softer and richer sandwich.
  • Store cooked patties in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze uncooked or cooked patties for up to 2 months.
